While on a drive between Monterey and San Jose we needed to make a quick stop for coffee and gnosh…read moreand so we tried the Gourmet Central Bakery. It is tucked in the corner of a small shopping center in the town of Prunedale, near the intersection of Highways 156 and 101. While the outside is nondescript, the bakery itself is beautiful on the inside and the selection of baked goods is extensive and spectacular. So many unique and tempting creations. It is difficult to choose one thing to order because there are so many that look amazing. We tried what they call a roulette which is a round layered pastry that is loaded with flavor. It was absolutely delicious. Not too sweet but just right. The disappointing factor at Gourmet Central Bakery is the coffee. It was incredible weak and flavorless. Not sure if it was the beans they use or the mix of water to coffee, but it was hugely disappointing. It did not compliment whatsoever their incredible baked goods. I hope they will focus on providing beverages that match the quality and creativity of their pastries. I would say check out GCB for all of their incredible baked goods, just don't order coffee until they make some changes. Their baked goods deserve, as do customers, a satisfying coffee pairing.

There were also a lot of smaller brands that I didn't recognize, so that was great too! They're just off the highway, but far enough in that if you weren't specifically looking for them, you probably wouldn't find them. I'm so glad I saw a video about them and went to check them out. Getting on and off the highway right here is super easy, which is great because crossing the constant flow of cars can be difficult from some of the other fruit stands and shops.

We were able to connect to purchase our primary goal of oysters, which were yummy. Vickie was engaging, answered our questions only about the seafood available to sale but also enjoyed sharing her journey of becoming a seafood monger. We also took advantage of buying freshly caught halibut that she was readily to custom cut for the weight we wanted and added some additional unfamiliar smaller fish great for Filipino broth soup and baking.

The Harbor Master told us if the gate was open, she was in business. We walked out to her boat and I told her we'd like some swordfish. She cut us a couple of nice steaks and charged us a very reasonable price. We took them back to the RV parked next door and grilled them for dinner. They were excellent. My wife said it was the best swordfish she had ever had. We go to ML often and the Beticia will be a regular stop for fresh fish.

In my previous review, I mentioned that I was keeping my…read moresubscription despite the decline in variety and service because I had purchased bulk king salmon which supposedly they were keeping in storage for me, and I was requesting deliveries of several fillets every couple of months. In March 2024, I received an email saying that they needed to clear out their bulk storage, and I had the option of receiving all of my salmon at once, or with each regular delivery until it's all gone. I was to reply within a week or the remainder of my supply would be donated. I replied saying sure, send some of it with each regular delivery, to which they replied: "Unfortunately, the season has been closed since last year but, we can definitely send Sockeye or Coho salmon instead." Turns out even though I paid for king salmon AND they claimed that they still had it and needed to clear out storage, they actually didn't have the amount all of their members had pre-purchased in storage, due to "quality concerns" beyond a certain period. Which they NEVER gave me any heads up about until this point. So when their email went out, the first handful of people to reply got the rest of the king salmon, and they wanted me to accept a different variety instead. A couple of months and over a dozen emails later, I finally received a refund for the rest of the salmon I thought I had bought. I'm very disappointed in how this situation was handled. While I see that they now explain the terms more clearly for their bulk sales, with the prioritization of ad-hoc sales over regular subscriptions for product variety and quality, I don't see the value of this service anymore compared to buying fish from my local farmer's market.
